Edwin
Forbes (1839 - 1895) was an American landscape
painter and etcher, known for his vivid and detailed depictions of
Civil War military subjects and battlefield scenes. Forbes was the
staff artist for Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper specifically
covering battles during the Civil War. Forbes accompanied the Army of
the Potomac throughout the conflict. Making quick sketches on the
battlefield he would later refine them with great detail. The sketches
were sent back to New York where copper plate etchings were made from
the detailed drawings. His drawings were published in Leslie's
newspaper and in 1876, Forbes made etching of his own illustrations
and published them in portfolio form on better quality paper as
"Life Studies of the Great Army: A Historical Art Work in Copper
Plate Etching Containing Forty Plates." We offer three
plates, margins trimmed but matted to actual issue size of 19.5"
X 24.5". These retail from $450 - $600 each in fine print

Henry
(Harry) Alexander Ogden, H. A. Ogden (1856 - 1936)was
an American illustrator particularly of historical and military
subjects. He was born in Philadelphia on July 17, 1856 but moved to
Brooklyn, New York when he was quite young and it was at the Brooklyn
Institute and the Brooklyn Academy of Design that he received his
first training in art. At the age of 17, he began work with Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. This allowed him to travel extensively
around the United States and Europe. One visit to the American West in
1877 resulted in over 200 illustrations. In 1881, he resigned from
Leslie's to set up as a free- lance artist, submitting numerous
illustrations to various newspapers and magazines. A number of these
were illustrations of historical scenes, and Ogden's interest in early
America and the Revolutionary War led him to his most ambitious
project, to record the uniforms of the United States. We offer 3
different dated 1912 prints by Ogden, overall 9" X 12"
colored lithographs.
